Other important notes: The resin is imported from Somalia for fair trade by the owner of a US company and distilled here in the US in a Certified Organic facility. The owner is originally from Somalia and works side by side with his family and friends from the village where he grew up to ensure that they are being paid fairly. He does this to help create economical growth and educational standards for villagers which otherwise would not be paid fairly or educated. These facts make this particular Frankincense carterii that much more valuable to me.

Aroma: ﻿﻿If you are looking for a heavenly resinous Frankincense, this is your oil! It is warm, radiant, spicy, and balsamic with only small hints of the earth the tree is grown in. It has a magical and calming aroma that makes this oil a basic component of any collection.

Personal notes: After spending a long while talking to and learning about my distiller for this oil, I can honestly say this essential oil ages with grace. The distillery is able to put money directly into the hands of the the individuals in Somalialand responsible for farming and cultivating the precious resin removed from the trees there. It is a wonderful way to support a culture that does so much for so many in this important process. I personally love this frankincense so much, I introduced it into my Meditation blend.

Safety Data:Frankincense is generally non-toxic and non-irritating if used properly. Can be skin irritating if oxidized.

Usage ideas: Create your own eye cream stick. See this link for details on recipe.
